The iCandy Peach is another popular alternative. It is a light option that is priced at less than PS300 including the adaptors needed to fit carseats.

Double buggies with side-by-side sides cost more, but are much easier to push. They can be wide and therefore may not be able to pass through doors with narrow openings.

The seat and carrycot have side-by-side placement, which means your children can see each other, and you'll have an eye on them, which means you're less likely to misinterpret them. It is also the slimmest available. This means it can pass through most doors and can be maneuvered around corners that are tight. It's a bit heavy and lengthy to push in double mode, and it isn't as efficient as some of the other best double buggies in rough or uneven terrain.

This is a great mid-range choice, and our top-rated double stroller. It's lightweight, comes with an integrated shopping basket and can fit two car seats for children, or one baby and a toddler.

It's not quite as spacious or luxurious as other high-end doubles, but it's an excellent value.

Safety

When purchasing a double stroller, you must ensure that it meets all the important safety standards. The safety straps as well as the way in which the seats adapt to your child's needs are vital. Also, check if the seats are reclined in different positions for each age group. Also, look for a big storage basket and pockets, and whether there are any other items that might be useful like sunshades or rain covers.

If you are going to use the buggy mainly in the city or on public transport, ensure that it is light and easy to move. You should also take into consideration the weight of the buggy when it's fully loaded, and if it can be folded and put in the car boot. If you are planning to use the buggy in small villages and towns, make sure that the wheels are sturdy and grippy enough to traverse narrow roads and doorways.

There are many types of double buggies. However, the most popular is the side-byside model. They are generally longer and more difficult to push, however they have the benefit of both children being able to see. These can be quite expensive.

Tandem buggies are an alternative and these have the children placed next to one another. This can be more comfortable for older children, however it does mean that the buggy is less stable than a side-by-side. It can be a challenge to maneuver them through narrow doors, and up and down kerbs.
